That was the best it had ever been.

I have 8mm outside and 7mm inside now, and it's meh. But there's so much stuff I've done different along the way, I'm not sure I'm the best one to be giving advice. My 2w? Strapped. My 2w SC? Strapped. This truck? Yeeeeee......

I'm going to start over again and rebaseline my stuff with a 540 motor and the Exotech hub and be done with it and shelf it, breaking it out when I want to run it. I always ran my timing at -0- (which on Novak is 30 degrees) and Matt Murphy has Cameron's motor at -5 degrees. Cam can run 2 teeth more than I can, and his has enough torque. I'm going to try that, and hope I don't need more rip.

I guess I could just call Matt and buy a motor like Camerons, but I'm seriously burned out on this class, and don't feel like spending another dime or any more time developing something for it. I mean, it's okay, but it's not competitive laptime wise with the other guys around here.

User Nick George's SC10 truck is tons better than mine and he hasn't hardly done anything to it. But at this point I don't really care that much because 2w is so much fun. It's totally possible I just don't like 4w.
